FT4232H Quad High Speed
USB to Multipurpose
UART/MPSSE IC
The FT4232H is FTDI’s 5^th generation of USB devices. ^
The FT4232H is a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mb/s) to
UART/MPSSE ICs. The device features 4 UARTs. Two
of these have an option to independently configure
an MPSSE engine. This allows the FT4232H to

operate as two UART/Bit-Bang ports plus two MPSSE
engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI, I²C, Bit-bang or
other synchronous serial modes. The FT4232H has

the following advanced features:

 Single chip USB to quad serial ports with a
variety of configurations.

 Entire USB protocol handled on the chip. No USB
specific firmware programming required.

 USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbits/Second) and Full
Speed (12Mbits/Second) compatible.
 Two Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine ^
(MPSSE) on channel A and channel B, to simplify ^
synchronous serial protocol (USB to JTAG, I²C,
SPI or bit-bang) design.

 Independent Baud rate generators.
 RS232/RS422/RS485 UART Transfer Data Rate ^
up to 12Mbaud. (RS232 Data Rate limited by ^
external level shifter).
 FTDI’s royalty-free Virtual Com Port (VCP) and ^
Direct (D2XX) drivers eliminate the requirement
for USB driver development in most cases.

 Optional traffic TX/RX indicators can be added
with LEDs and an external 74HC595 shift ^
register.
 Adjustable receive buffer timeout.

 Support for USB suspend and resume conditions ^
via PWREN#, SUSPEND# and RI# pins.


Highly integrated design includes +1.8V LDO
regulator for VCORE, integrated POR function
and on chip clock multiplier PLL (12MHz –
480MHz).
